How This FIPS Code Works

49 041

Census ACS API — Python 49041
import requests

url = "https://api.census.gov/data/2022/acs/acs5"
params = {
    "get":  "NAME,B19013_001E,B01003_001E",

    "in":   "state:49",

SQL — filtering by county FIPS 49041
-- 5-digit combined FIPS (state + county)
SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE county_fips = '49041';

-- Some datasets store state and county separately
SELECT * FROM your_table
WHERE state_fips = '49'
  AND county_fips = '041';

-- ⚠ Never cast to integer — leading zeros are lost:
-- county_fips = 49041 is WRONG for this county

  geography = "county",

)
Zero-padding reminder: FIPS codes must always be stored and compared as zero-padded strings. 49 (not 49) and 041 (not 41) — losing the leading zeros is one of the most common data-join bugs in federal datasets. Full guide →

ZIP Codes in Sevier County
